Chapter 4: Rushing to the Market
Meng Yuxuan smiled, walked towards Shangguanxi, rubbed his head and said, "Okay." Anything else you want? ”
"Don't dispense me, I'm not going to be fine anyway. You can give my dad two more pairs! Shangguan Xi said with red eyes.
How can you say that? Don't say such things, your father will be sad to hear it. Meng Yuxuan frowned, looking disapproving.
"Dad worked too hard for me, I don't want him to work so hard. Now that he's hurt, I think he's going to eat something good. But after buying meat and dispensing medicine for my father, the family had no money. My illness was the most expensive. Anyway, it won't get better for a while, so it's better to treat your father first, and then talk about it when your father is better. Shangguan Xi said in a deep voice.
Meng Yuxuan was silent for a while. Shangguan Xi's sensibility made her feel distressed.
In her previous life, she tried to maintain her innocence until she died. Her only regret is that she didn't get the happiness of ordinary people. For example, I have a husband who loves me and a lovely child.
The girls were not allowed to get pregnant and give birth to children in the building. Many do not have a child by the age of forty or fifty. She remembers very well that a low-class prostitute in her forties wished to have a child of her own. Her obsession was so deep that she was going crazy in the end.
"Fool, what do children want to do so much? It's something we adults have to do. Meng Yuxuan sighed.
Shangguan Huan listened to the conversation between the two, and sorrow flashed in his sharp eyes.
Is it wrong to bring the stream out? He didn't have to live like this.
No! He doesn't regret it! He shouldn't regret it! If you don't bring Xi'er out, I'm afraid that he will be dead long ago. Therefore, even if Xi'er suffers with him, it is better than not dying.
What's the deal with that woman? Such a gentle appearance is really rare. Didn't you have to die or live all day the other day? Is it really willing to stay now? If she didn't want to stay, then her purpose was really puzzling. That's it! Whatever she wants. As long as he doesn't mess with Xi'er, he won't worry about her alone. But......
Once he touches someone she shouldn't touch, he doesn't care if she is a woman or not, he will definitely make her understand what life is better than death.
"Damn." Shangguan Huan moved, and his right arm hurt uncomfortably. He hadn't felt such pain in years. These years have been too smooth, and they have actually regressed so much in martial arts.
Before dawn on the second day, Meng Yuxuan first boiled some gnocchi and warmed it in the pot, and then walked outside with the wild sheep on her shoulder. When she passed by the door, she said to the people inside: "Breakfast is in the pot, let him bring it out when Xi'er wakes up later." I'll come back at noon and cook for you, so just rest well and don't get out of bed. By the way, the medicine is also boiled and warmed on the stove. ”
The people in the room did not respond. Meng Yuxuan didn't wait for a word, and was a little disappointed. But she quickly mustered up her spirits to cheer herself up. Freezing three feet is not a day's cold. Shangguan Huan is not the kind of person who lets down his guard easily. He didn't kick her out, which was already very face-saving for her. So, don't rush now, let's take your time!
Yue'er hung in the sky, winking at her gently. The wild sheep on her shoulders weighed about seventy or eighty pounds, which was a bit difficult for her, who had never done rough work. She could have thrown it into the space, but she was afraid that she would meet the people in the village, and when the time came, she saw that she had sold a sheep without anything, but she was afraid that she would not be able to explain.
"Miss Meng." Someone in front shouted hesitantly. "Is that you?"
The light was so dim that the villagers had to light torches if they wanted to walk this way. Meng Yuxuan carried the wild sheep and had no time to take care of others, and the wild sheep on her shoulders blocked most of her whole person, making her unrecognizable appearance for a while.
Meng Yuxuan didn't see anyone, but she heard the voice. She smiled: "Is it Aunt Lin?" It's me. ”
"Feng'er, let's go and help." After Aunt Lin finished speaking to the person next to her, she hurriedly ran to her.
Before Meng Yuxuan's words of refusal could be spoken, Aunt Lin took a little daughter-in-law in her early twenties to take the wild sheep on her shoulder.
"Why didn't you say yesterday that you were going to sell sheep today? We told you that we would have carried it for you. Aunt Lin walked beside Meng Yuxuan with a basket on her back and a basket.
"How can you trouble your aunt every time? Life has to go on. Meng Yuxuan wiped the sweat from her face and said with a pant. By the way, the aunt's basket hasn't been returned yet. ”
"What else? An old basket, if you don't dislike it, keep it! Your uncle's basket weaving skills are not bad, and there is no shortage of baskets in our family. ”
"Then I won't be polite to my aunt. To be honest, there is a real shortage of such a basket at home. Meng Yuxuan chuckled.
"Okay, don't be polite to me." Aunt Lin originally only contacted Meng Yuxuan because of Shangguan Huan's life-saving grace, but she never thought that the other party was completely arrogant as the villagers said, and her temperament was quite pleasing. Aunt Lin decided to go back and find a few sisters who were good friends to talk to. You can't let the long-tongued woman in the village slander other people's little girls like this. After all, this kid is not easy.
"In front of you is Uncle Wang's ox cart, and it will be there soon." The little daughter-in-law named Feng'er said softly.
"This is my daughter-in-law Feng'er. You haven't seen it yet, have you? Don't look at her soft and weak, her strength is very strong. Aunt Lin introduced with a smile.
"Hello sister-in-law." Meng Yuxuan said hello. "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"You're welcome, girl." Feng'er was a little shy. "I'll carry it first, mother, you and Miss Meng will walk slowly."
"Got it. You are also careful. Aunt Lin said to Feng'er.
Meng Yuxuan looked at the soft and weak Feng'er carrying seventy or eighty catties of wild sheep effortlessly. She thought that although she couldn't practice immortal arts, there were martial arts secrets in the space, right? Why didn't she practice some martial arts to defend herself? If she has martial arts, she can also carry dozens of pounds of heavy objects and walk like flying.
"Wow, what a big sheep! Feng'er, is it your family's hunter? From the ox cart came the envious exclamation of a man.
"It's not." Feng'er is not good at words. "Uncle Wang, please make a place for my sister to herd sheep."
"This is the sheep of the Huan boy's family, right? He is the only one in the village who has the ability to do this. An old man who smoked a dry cigarette knocked on the ashes of his cigarette and said, "There are not many people rushing to the market today, so I can let it go." ”
It was the first time Meng Yuxuan had heard someone call Shangguan Huan in such an intimate tone. Whether it is the memories of his previous life or the details observed in this life, it proves that Shangguan Huan is incompatible with this village. The people in the village were afraid of his skills, and he looked like no one was going to get close to him. In fact, he and Shangguanxi have never integrated into this village. But it seems that there are still people who are willing to accept him.
"Uncle Wang, we are the daughters-in-law of good families, you won't let us sit with a person who doesn't abide by women's morals, right?" A mean-looking woman glared at Meng Yuxuan and said. "My sister-in-law hasn't said anything yet! If people know that she has been in contact with such a person, I am afraid it will be difficult to say that she is close. Uncle Wang, you have to think clearly. She sits in your bullock cart, and we don't sit. ”
"Hui'er Niang." The woman next to her pulled the woman who was talking. "Forget it."
"What's the matter? Now the whole town knows that she ran away from her in-law's house without permission, and even her husband was abolished. I'll go with her, and others won't spit on me? Hui'er Niang said unhappily with a cold face. I won't sit with her anyway. ”
Meng Yuxuan didn't expect that the people in the village would be so prejudiced against her. Now what? Do you still want to go to town? Not to mention that it takes three hours to walk from here to the town, even if she is willing to walk for a few hours, what will happen to this wild sheep? She couldn't carry it for that long. Also, there are two if there is one. If she shows weakness today, she will not be allowed to ride in an ox cart when she goes to town in the future.
"That's it! What this girl did, that's her business. She didn't stand in your way, and could she do this to her? Wang Chengkui said smoking a cigarette. To sit or not to sit? If you don't sit down, forget it. For the sake of the villagers, the old man only accepted one article from you. The ox cart next door is two pennies a piece. If you want to sit in the next village, go ahead! The old man is not reluctant. ”
Meng Yuxuan listened to Wang Chengkui's words and knew that these people couldn't make trouble. A penny can buy a pound of sorghum noodles or a pound of cornmeal, which is very precious to them.
Meng Yuxuan is an outsider, even if Wang Chengkui doesn't help her, it is reasonable. After all, almost all the people in this village are related to each other, and only she and Shangguan Huan are outsiders.
"Sisters-in-law, sisters, Yuxuan is here to accompany you." Meng Yuxuan blessed her body.
She is a big girl cultivated by the Li family, and she usually comes into contact with people with heads and faces, so she is very elegant and beautiful in her gestures. In addition, she has been the top brand in the building for many years and has received very rigorous training. Her temperament has changed a lot since she was reborn. used to be a real big girl, but now she is more like a daughter than Miss Qianjin.
Another point, even Meng Yuxuan didn't pay attention to is that since she opened the Penglai space, there is a little more fairy energy between her eyebrows. That's a temperament that no one else has.
Wang Chengkui, Feng'er and Aunt Lin did not speak. The other women and the maiden who had not yet left the cabinet looked at each other. Several of the women and girls softened their expressions. Only Hui'er Niang and the girl next to her still had ugly faces.
"Yuxuan has been working as a maid in the Li family, grateful for the grace of her wife and master, and has never thought of leaving the house. But in order to repay the favor, the master actually married me to Xi'er's father. Yuxuan couldn't accept it for a while, so she cried all day long. Later I figured it out. I stayed in the house to serve my wife and my lord, and I also repaid my kindness by helping my lord repay Xi'er's father. I am willing to serve Xi'er's father for the rest of my life. It's just a master and servant, and Yuxuan wants to officially say goodbye to her wife and master, so she hurried to the town. I never thought that before I returned to the Li Mansion, Yuxuan would encounter such misfortune. ”
"Yuxuan is also a weak woman. Usually, the door does not go out of the second door, and it is too urgent to meet this kind of thing. Fortunately, Xi'er's father came to save me, otherwise Yuxuan really doesn't know what would have happened......"
Meng Yuxuan said, taking out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiping the corners of her eyes. I have seen a lot in the back house, how to cry is both beautiful and sympathetic, Meng Yuxuan has her hands on it.
"You also have a heart." A woman looked at her with pity.
In fact, most people are quite sympathetic. Only a few people will inevitably be a little jealous when they see her beautiful and wearing such good clothes. Especially when Meng Yuxuan came, the men in the village couldn't help but look at her a few more times openly and secretly, and even some bachelors thought about her. If it weren't for Shangguan Huan's inability to mess with, Meng Yuxuan would have been eaten to the point that there were no bones left.
